Tea that did not come in the mail, but I bought while on vacation/going to my cousin’s wedding in BC. :)
from http://www.thechineseteashop.com/
10g of “1990’s Vintage Wild Loose Leaf Pu-Erh Tea (Raw/Ripe)”
50g of “Organic Ban Zhang, Dian Cang Pin Pu-Erh Tea Cake – Six Famous Tea Mountain Factory, 2006 (Raw/Sheng)”
from http://thaytea.com/
50g of “Chocolate Blueberry – Organic”
from http://www.teafarm.ca/
sample pouches (looks like 15-20g?) of some Chinese Zodiac blends (Dog, Tiger, Dragon, Pig) and the Organic Golden Monkey
100g tin of Keemun Mao Feng because it was on sale
a chasen, because it was sitting right there and I’ve been wanting one. didn’t buy the gorgeous chawan at Thay Tea though. :(
Also I’m just barely scratching the surface of the teas that came in from White 2 Tea (these puer teas steep all day! it will take forever to try them all).
Wheeeeee, so much tea.
My Teavivre order arrived, huzzah!
200g Black Dragon Pearl
100g Bailin Gongfu
100g Golden Monkey
I’ve tried the Dragon Pearls and I found it was good. It has been several months since I ran out so I can’t compare very accurately in my memory but I found these pearls a little larger, very cocoa/chocolate and smooth. Dry aroma a little more like golden monkey than I remember the previous ones to be. If anything, a bit richer and bolder but no smoke or bitterness for me.
